About stretched tuning The [PIANO 1/L] and [PIANO 2/M] sounds use stretched tuning. In order to obtain a more natural sound, stretched tuning tunes the lower notes slightly flatter and the higher notes slightly sharper than the equal tempered pitches. Acoustic pianos are normally tuned using stretched tuning.
Chapter 5 MIDI What’s MIDI? MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-wide standard for transferring performance-related information between electronic musical instruments and computers. What can you do using MIDI? By using MIDI, you can control another MIDI device from the LP-350 or play the LP-350’s sound generator from another MIDI device. You can also use the LP-350 in conjunction with a sequencer or multiple MIDI devices to enjoy complex ensembles.
Basic MIDI settings When you turn on the power, the LP-350’s MIDI parameters are set as follows. Parameter Setting Transmit channel 1 Receive channel Receive all (1-16)* Local On Omni Off * The metronome sound (D5 , E5) is assigned to be received on channel 10. For this reason, channel 10 will not receive program change messages. Changing the transmit channel MIDI has sixteen channels (1–16) on which data can be transmitted and received.
Using the LP-350 as a multi-timbral sound module By using an external MIDI device to control the LP-350’s internal sound generator, you can use the LP-350 as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module. 1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-350’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your sequencer or other MIDI device. 2. Transmit MIDI data from the connected sequencer or MIDI device. For details on how to transmit data from the connected sequencer, refer to its owner’s manual.
Program change transmission When you select a sound on the LP-350 using the sound select buttons and BANK button, a MIDI program change message of the corresponding number 0–29 will be transmitted. Program change reception When the LP-350 receives a program change number 0–29, it will switch to the corresponding sound. Program change numbers and sounds PC# 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 28 Sound button [PIANO 1/L] [PIANO 2/M] [E.PIANO 1/H] [E.
Enabling/disabling program changes Enable this setting if you want program change messages to be transmitted and received, or disable it if you don’t want these messages to be transmitted or received. To enable or disable program changes, hold down the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button and press the [PIANO 2/M] sound select button. Each time you do so, the setting will switch between Enabled and Disabled.
The following table shows the data that will be saved by a data dump. Type Data Single mode Reverb and chorus settings (on/off and effect depth) Layer mode Volume balance, and damper on/off setting for each sound Saving data on your data filer 1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-350’s MIDI OUT connector to your data filer’s MIDI IN connector. 2. Operate your data filer so that it is waiting to receive MIDI data from the LP350. 3.
Chapter 6 Appendix Troubleshooting If you experience a problem, please check these points first. If the LP-350 still does not operate correctly, contact a Korg service center. Problem Power does not turn on. Action Make sure that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the LP-350 and to an AC outlet. Make sure that the LP-350’s volume is not set at zero. If it is, raise the volume to an appropriate level. No sound. Make sure that MIDI Local Control is not turned Off. If Local Control is Off, turn it On.
Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and choose your sounds carefully when using Layer mode to play two sounds simultaneously, or when using the damper pedal or applying effects. You can use the following equation to calculate the maximum polyphony when using different combinations of sounds and effects.
Assembling the stand Warning At least one other person must help you assemble the stand. Caution during assembly In order to assemble the stand safely, please observe the following points. • Make sure that you have the correct part in the correct orientation, and perform the assembly in the order given. • If you apply excessive force to the front of the digital piano before fastening it to the stand, it may fall down.
